Thanks to AA, I no longer feel like a lost soul and I am no longer in chains.
Picture this: a woman who has spent 42 years sober, sharing her wisdom and experiences with a gentle spirit that captivates her audience. That’s exactly what you’ll get in this episode of Sober Cast, featuring Cora Louise B from Leland, MS. Recorded at The Sunlight of The Spirit Conference in York, PA, back in 1999, Cora’s story is a heartfelt journey from the depths of addiction to a life filled with hope and purpose.
Cora’s sobriety journey began in 1957, a time when resources for addiction were scarce and often ineffective. She recounts how she tried every possible form of help available in New York City before finding solace in Alcoholics Anonymous. Her story is a powerful reminder of the destructive nature of addiction and the transformative power of AA fellowship. One of the most striking aspects of Cora’s story is her emphasis on postponing the first drink.
She candidly shares how she spent years in a state of limbo, not drunk but not truly sober either. It wasn’t until she embraced the principles of AA that she could face her reality one day at a time. Cora also delves into her extensive experience with AA service, highlighting how it played a crucial role in her recovery.
She worked for years as a member of the staff at the general service office in New York, finding that service helped her stay connected to the fellowship and to a higher power. Her story is a testament to the importance of giving back and staying engaged with the community. This episode is more than just a recounting of Cora’s life; it’s a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with addiction.
It shows that no matter how lost you may feel, there is always a path to a better life through the support and fellowship of AA.
